Thought it might be nice to have a space for new posters to quickly introduce themselves, if they so wish.

Please feel free to tell us a bit about your interests :-)

Go on then, I'll bite.

Long-time lurker, first(ish) time poster. Glasgow-based, late 30's with 2 cats, a wife and toddler.

Phimosis kept at bay thus far, but been balding since my mid-20's so now an unashamed slaphead. Hopefully that's enough for me to slip into the CAB crowd unhindered before slinking off muttering something about needing to catch the last bus.

Give us your bastard rating out of ten.

A solid seven, on a good day.

(liquid seven otherwise)

Joined here about a year ago when I heard it mentioned on Inside No. 9 but haven't posted much until recently.

48, married with 2 girls and a cat. I have a girl's name (dad was a fan of Stacy Keach) which according to some posters on here apparently makes me a woman. Go figure. Also, my profile pic of Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura makes me transphobic. Go figure, again. Changed now to Dumb and Dumber.  :)

Oh hello. I didn't know this was here. Been here for a few weeks now, I introduced myself in one of the Glinner threads but to anyone who's not keeping up with those I would like to simply say... hi. Just "hi".

Would you say you put the 'hi' in 'phimosis'?

so are you loving it on the cookdandbombd forum?

Wouldn't say I'm loving it, as there have been some right judgmental people on here, but for the most part, yeah, it's good to engage.

My dad always told me, "It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice" - something I think some people on here haven't learnt yet.

And the "bald" in... I don't know, something that has those letters in it

Quote from: Stigdu on June 23, 2022, 10:36:53 AMWhat the fuck?

Sorry pal, there is a general consensus on here where people will respond to accusations of cruelty by being even more of a wanker, mostly for their own amusement I guess? Either way I don't think it's the best way to speak to someone who's clearly having a hard time fitting in here as it is.

For what it's worth I thought the shite about you being called a troll in the Gervais thread simply for liking his work and explaining why to the best of your ability was completely uncalled for. The sad truth is we've had people act that way before simply to antagonise the forum but that doesn't mean everyone who signs up and says they like Gervais should be treated with extreme caution and prejudice. It's embarrassing. The best way to create a harmonious world is to speak to others of different beliefs and understand one another better, not to cast them aside and try and build an exclusive utopia. This is a place for discussion after all and I'm glad you stayed and spoke your mind. I hope you stick around, most of us are actually really nice people. Except me, I am a cunt.

CaB is full of wankers, sadly. There's a level of articulacy and cultural awareness/knowledge that can't be found on most boards, and it's the liveliest forum I know, but unfortunately alongside all that you've got sneering, arrogant cunts, tedious in-jokes, and obsessive, closed-shop consensus views on every major comedy figure. Dare represent a different opinion and you'll be pilloried.

I appreciate that, cheers bud. Had a similar private message from another member on here, giving support.

Fuck 'em. I stand by my values and opinions and won't feel intimidated. That Paul Calf character (not Steve Coogan, I quite like him) can go do one.

I saw you going against the CAB consensus in the Gervais thread Stigdu and I did feel like you got piled on a bit, but yknow it happened to me when I joined here too, I didn't feel like I belonged because I had wrongthink, but stick here long enough and the other posters will hammer non-conformity out of you and you'll hate Gervais' new special too

You're welcome.

Nearly. I'm not really allowed on the internet but I do it while my dad's not looking.

He's a cunt too.

this isn't a very welcoming new posters intro thread Paul

Martin Van Buren Stan

I mean Paul's post was obviously a joke? He was ironicing @Stigdu I think. "Someone says it's good to be nice so I'll jokingly call them a cunt" is a pretty standard gag

I don't see the word 'welcoming' in the title 😁

I'd argue that it's a fairly accurate intro.

I mean, it's there if you want it.

I was emulating my hero, Richard Gervisa, who was horrid to famous people at the BAFTAs or something. Everyone sucked his knob raw because he was so brave and daring.

OK, I don 't want to drive new posters away.

@Stigdu : I was joking mate. As @Martin Van Buren Stan points out above, it's quite a common joke format. If I upset you, I am very sorry.

OK, fair dos. Appreciate the apology. Seemed a bit harsh and out of left field is all!

Welcome, lovely people.  And cunts.  And lovely cunts.  It's all good.

my dad's a right cunt, if anyone wants a pop at him, I won't mind
